Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medicine and provides a bioglass nanomaterial based on engineered probiotic loading, in particular, a nanomaterial modified with an anti-tumor probiotic carrier that has a tumor microenvironment response, promotes the ICD effect of tumor cells, and enhances DC cell antigen presentation, and further discloses its preparation method and application. Background Art

[0002] In recent decades, various tumor-targeting microorganisms, such as Bacillus Calmette-Guérin, anaerobic / facultative anaerobic bacteria, and oncolytic viruses, have been used as delivery vehicles for tumor-specific drugs or as direct therapeutic agents themselves. Based on the unique tumor microenvironment (TME) within solid tumors, these relatively safe bacteria (such as Bifidobacterium, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhimurium) are able to specifically colonize tumor tissue and exert tumor-specific therapeutic effects.

[0003] However, single-microbial therapies often result in various adverse side effects, such as severe infections, which limit further clinical research. Therefore, nanomedicines constructed by leveraging the natural hypoxia tropism of anaerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria for tumor-targeted therapy have shown remarkable efficacy in multimodal cancer treatment. These composite nanomedicines, combining specific microorganisms with nanomaterials, exhibit the advantages of microbial therapy while minimizing adverse side effects and without damaging normal tissues. This novel "microbial nanomedicine" has broad application potential in tumor-specific treatment.

[0004] Currently, the main microorganisms used for tumor treatment include attenuated Escherichia coli, Bifidobacterium, Listeria monocytogenes, etc. However, attenuated microorganisms often show a reduced ability to colonize tumors, which reduces the concentration of drug delivery and increases the risk of infection. Currently, Lactobacillus is mostly used as an immunomodulator, which regulates the intestinal microbial environment after oral administration to assist in the treatment of tumors. However, this method of drug delivery may reduce the concentration through the first-pass effect in the liver, thereby reducing the therapeutic effect. Existing bacterial drug delivery methods all have a limited drug release period, require multiple administrations, and are prone to causing side effects such as infection.

[0005] Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are facultative anaerobic bacteria that have long been used safely as probiotics in food production and processing. In recent years, the application of LAB has expanded beyond the food industry to include the chemical, pharmaceutical, and medical sectors. LAB can produce antimicrobial peptides or bacteriocins during metabolism, showing therapeutic potential in the treatment of intestinal infections, inflammation, liver disease, intestinal syndromes, and even cancer.

[0006] The development of tumor vaccines based on dendritic cells (DCs) has attracted considerable attention in recent years and has become a key branch of innovative tumor vaccine research and development with the greatest potential. DCs have the ability to regulate both innate and adaptive immunity, maintaining immune homeostasis while rapidly promoting robust immune responses within the tumor microenvironment (TME) and at sites of viral infection. In the anti-tumor immune response, circulating DCs capture tumor antigens, enter secondary lymphoid organs, and promote the proliferation and maturation of DCs, T cells, and B cells, thereby transforming "cold tumors" into "hot tumors."

[0007] The recruitment, maturation, differentiation, and activity of DCs within tumor tissues are important prerequisites for improving anti-tumor immunity and enhancing prognosis. Studies have shown that tumor-infiltrating NK cells can recruit cDC1s by secreting CCL5 and XC-type chemokine ligand 1 (XCL1); at the same time, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the TME, such as NK cells, secrete FLT3L, which promotes the in situ proliferation and differentiation of cDCs and enhances their survival. Therefore, the distribution and activity of DCs chemokines in the TME, as well as the migration ability of DCs, are the basis for determining whether DCs can initiate innate and adaptive immunity and achieve multifunctional immune regulation. However, immunosuppressive factors in the TME and special immune escape mechanisms within tumor cells inhibit the recruitment, proliferation, differentiation, and survival of normal DCs into tumor tissues. For example, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) secreted by tumor cells can inhibit NK cell activity and the secretion of proinflammatory chemokines, thereby inhibiting the recruitment of DCs into the tumor. Tumor-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) can inhibit FLT3L activity and suppress DC differentiation, while IL-6 secreted by tumor cells and immune cells can inhibit the differentiation of cDCs into moDCs. Furthermore, overexpression of T cell immunoglobulin mucin receptor 3 (TIM3) inhibits the ability of HMGB1 to recruit tumor nucleic acids to DC endosomes. At the same time, tumor cells overexpress CD47 to evade recognition of tumor mitochondrial DNA by SIRPα protein in cDC2s, thereby hindering DC activity and antigen presentation capacity. Therefore, increasing tumor cell antigen release and enhancing the antigen presentation capacity of DCs within the tumor are prerequisites for improving anti-tumor immunity.

[0008] In recent years, studies have demonstrated the presence of bacteria in tumors and the immunomodulatory effects of the microbiome, indicating that tumor tissue is a complex of bacteria interacting with tumor cells and the host. With the in-depth understanding of TME by technicians and the rapid development of microbiology, nanotechnology and recombinant DNA technology, combined with the unique tumor targeting, immune activation characteristics and metabolic characteristics of bacteria, the acquisition of reprogrammed bacteria has made bacterial therapy a new hot spot in current cancer research and treatment. Based on the unique immunosuppressive microenvironment inside solid tumors, attenuated bacteria (Bifidobacterium, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, etc.) can specifically colonize in tumor tissues and exert anti-tumor effects, while other tissues and organs outside the tumor will inhibit the survival of bacteria due to their normal immune microenvironment, thereby ensuring the safety of bacterial anti-tumor therapy. In recent years, the use of the hypoxic tropism of anaerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria for tumor targeted therapy has attracted attention in multimodal cancer treatment. This new type of "microbial nanomedicine" has broad application potential in the development of tumor vaccines.

[0009] However, although DCs-based anti-tumor vaccines can induce significant T cell responses, they have not had significant clinical effects in most studies, and their clinical translation still faces urgent problems:

[0010] (1) Limited number of DCs and weak migration ability: In practical applications, autologous DCs transplantation immunotherapy involves isolating DCs and monocytes from the patient's peripheral blood, activating and amplifying them in vitro under the induction of exogenous cytokines (GM-CSF, IL-4 / MAFB, FLT3L, etc.), and then returning them to the patient. Although adoptive cell therapy of DCs loaded with adjuvants / antigens has advantages such as specific DCs subset targeting and controllable adjuvant / antigen co-delivery, the preparation process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and costly. In addition, DCs derived from tumor patients themselves have functional abnormalities, which limits the effective number of DCs cells delivered and their ability to home to lymphoid organs, thereby reducing the anti-tumor efficacy.

[0011] (2) Lack of effective antigens: Although immune adjuvants or antigen carrier delivery systems targeting DCs (such as antibody-coupled nanomaterials) have specific DC targeting and can enhance antigen cross-presentation ability, the effects of the carrier on DCs and the nonspecificity of the antigen limit their clinical application.

[0012] (3) In vitro induced DCs subtypes affect anti-tumor efficiency: naturally formed DC subpopulations have higher MHC molecule expression and functionalization than in vitro generated MoDCs, and therefore have stronger antigen presentation capabilities. Recent studies have shown that CD5 on the surface of DCs can promote the activation and proliferation of effector T cells, affecting the expression of CD5 on the surface of T cells, thereby affecting the effect of ICB therapy. However, the infusion of autologous MoDCs for anti-tumor therapy requires in vitro induction, and the limited DCs subtypes produced will limit its anti-tumor effect. Therefore, recruiting DCs and promoting their maturation, proliferation and differentiation through in situ stimulation of the tumor is an important strategy to improve DCs anti-tumor immunity.

[0013] (4) Tumor immunosuppressive microenvironment inhibits chemotaxis, proliferation and activation of DCs: The immune, metabolic and hypoxic characteristics of TME lead to the formation of immunosuppressive microenvironment, and the antigen presentation ability of DCs is affected by factors such as antigen loss or immunosuppressive mediators / cytokines. Immunosuppressive cells and cytokines in the immunosuppressive microenvironment, such as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), regulatory T cells (Tregs), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), TGF-β and PD-L1, inhibit NK cell function and reduce their ability to secrete DC chemokines, severely inhibiting tumor infiltration, maturation and activation of DCs.

[0014] Therefore, the main limitations of DCs-based anti-tumor vaccines for solid tumor treatment are insufficient tumor antigen content in the tumor's immunosuppressive microenvironment, insufficient DCs infiltration, and low survival. Therefore, the field is looking forward to constructing a class of naturally non-toxic Lactobacillus carriers that secrete cytokines and chemokines in response to the tumor microenvironment, and further developing more effective DCs-based in situ tumor vaccines. These have important application value in improving the efficacy of immunotherapy and provide a research foundation for promoting the clinical translation and application of DCs immunotherapy.

[0050] Specifically, the method for preparing the nanomaterial modified with engineered probiotics, in step (1), further includes the step of constructing the Lactobacillus vector containing the tumor microenvironment-responsive expression plasmid, comprising the following steps:

[0051] (1) Constructing a tumor microenvironment-responsive expression plasmid according to the selected gene structure;

[0060] The present invention also discloses a pharmaceutical composition, characterized in that the pharmaceutical composition comprises the nanomaterial modified based on the engineered probiotics.

[0061] The present invention utilizes the characteristics of natural lactobacillus "probiotics" to construct a class of "natural non-toxic" lactobacillus drug carriers, which utilizes its own immunogenic characteristics to promote immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells to achieve tumor antigen release; through gene editing, lactobacillus has the ability to express specific cytokines or chemokines in response to the tumor microenvironment, thereby achieving the in situ release of drugs on tumors and promoting DCs, CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocyte maturation and proliferation enhance the anti-tumor immune response at the tumor site, reduce the toxic side effects of drugs, and reduce the risk of infection caused by the side effects of bacterial drug delivery.

[0062] The present invention utilizes the characteristics of natural lactobacillus "probiotics", combines the hypoxia characteristics in the tumor microenvironment, and uses DNA recombination technology to construct a probiotic that has hypoxia-responsive expression and secretion of DCs chemokine XCL-1. As a natural tumor-targeting carrier, the engineered probiotic can colonize in the tumor tissue and infiltrate the hypoxic zone in the center of the tumor under the drive of the hypoxia signal of the tumor tissue and the inhibitory immune microenvironment. The hypoxic environment in the tumor tissue can induce the engineered probiotic to express and secrete the DCs chemokine XCL1, induce DCs to enter the tumor tissue, and mature and proliferate under the stimulation of tumor antigens, thereby increasing their ability to present antigens. The activated DCs can present tumor antigens to T cells, promote T cell maturation and secrete proinflammatory factors, and enhance the anti-tumor immune response ability.

[0063] The Lactobacillus carrier constructed by the present invention can colonize and proliferate at the tumor site by utilizing its anaerobic tropism. It can also continuously express and secrete cytokines or chemokines under specific conditions. This expression and secretion of cytokines or chemokines in situ promotes the maturation and proliferation of DCs and T lymphocytes, enabling the function of an in situ tumor vaccine and achieving an anti-tumor immune response. It can also achieve long-term drug release, avoiding the complexity and toxic side effects of multiple drug administrations. The Lactobacillus carrier described in the present invention is also suitable for treating various inflammatory conditions, neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Under the action of the specific promoter and the secretory peptide, the target gene can be expressed and secreted in situ in the tumor microenvironment. The lactobacillus expression vector constructed in the present invention uses a lactobacillus-specific vector skeleton. It is also within the scope of protection of the present invention to construct a tumor microenvironment responsive gene expression plasmid based on a plasmid vector of other species of bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Bifidobacterium, Listeria monocytogenes, etc.) using a similar method.

[0065] The probiotic-modified nanomaterials of the present invention are constructed based on nanoparticles that respond to the acidic microenvironment of tumors and engineered probiotic carriers to achieve the release of nanoparticles in response to acidity in the tumor microenvironment. At the same time, probiotics can express DC cell chemotactic factors under acid induction to achieve the induction of tumor cell death in situ, enhance DC cell antigen presentation, and enhance the effect of anti-tumor immune response in situ. The scheme of the present invention transforms probiotics through genetic recombination technology to enable them to secrete DC cell chemotactic factors, and performs N3 modification through the sugar metabolism pathway; by connecting Fe3O4 to the borosilicate bioglass material, it enables it to release Fe in an acidic environment. 3+ At the same time, DBCO is modified on the bioglass material, and the bioglass material is attached to the bacteria through bioorthogonal click chemistry reaction. The tumor targeting of bacteria is used to achieve synchronous transport of nanoparticles and bacteria, thereby enhancing the targeted anti-tumor immune response.

[0066] The probiotic-loaded nanomaterial described in the present invention is constructed based on nanoparticles that respond to the acidic microenvironment of tumors and engineered probiotic carriers. The bioglass material is connected to the probiotics using sugar metabolism engineering and bioorthogonal coupling. The bioglass material is released in a slightly acidic environment and triggers a Fenton reaction, increasing the death of immunogenic cells in the tumor and releasing antigens, ultimately achieving efficient and long-lasting anti-tumor immunotherapy.

[0067] The probiotic-loaded nanomaterials described herein, combined with genetically engineered bacteria, utilize a bioorthogonal click chemistry pairing group, N3-DBCO, to connect the bacteria to the bioglass material. This metabolically labels the bacteria with N3, minimizing the impact on the bacteria's own functions. The reaction conditions are mild, simple, efficient, and reproducible, making them suitable for loading diverse nanomaterials onto bacterial surfaces. The bioorthogonal click chemistry pairing group, N3-DBCO, stabilizes the connection between the bacteria and the material, increasing the delivery efficiency of the bioglass material and its targeting to lesions.

[0068] The probiotic-loaded nanomaterials of the present invention are constructed with bacterial carriers based on cell membrane surface metabolites. Utilizing this feature, the design concept can be applied to the engineering connection and modification of nanoparticles in other cells, viruses, and other organisms. Compared with more complex biological systems such as blood and human tissue, the construction method of this bacterial carrier has significant reaction specificity, which can greatly avoid the false signals caused by traditional non-specific labeling based on amino and carboxyl reactions; at the same time, compared with positive and negative charge adsorption methods, this labeled product is more stable. The construction method of the bacterial carrier-biomaterial of the present invention is simple and easy to operate and promote.

[0069] The present invention is based on the tumor in situ vaccine development strategy of DCs, and utilizes DNA recombination technology, sugar metabolism engineering and bioorthogonal means to construct a new type of engineered probiotic that can simultaneously promote the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of tumor cells to achieve tumor antigen release and increase the antigen presentation ability of DCs, thereby achieving efficient and rapid anti-tumor immunotherapy. This anti-tumor vaccine system can increase the ICD effect at the tumor site and achieve the in situ expression and secretion of DCs chemokines, thereby enhancing the antigen presentation ability of the tumor site and promoting the expression of DCs and CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocyte maturation and proliferation enhance the anti-tumor immune response at the tumor site and reduce the toxic side effects of drugs, providing a research basis for promoting the clinical translation and application of DCs immunotherapy, and also providing a new strategy for the development of in situ anti-tumor vaccines based on DCs.

[0070] The probiotic-loaded nanomaterials of the present invention, under the carrier of probiotics, simultaneously transport the bioglass material to the lesion site (including but not limited to tumors, such as inflammation, Alzheimer's disease and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases). Under the stimulation of the microenvironment of the lesion site, the probiotics can secrete DC cell chemotactic factors, and at the same time, the bioglass nanoparticles can release metal ions (including but not limited to Fe2 + , Cu2 + The bacteria-loaded nanoparticles described herein can effectively promote the accumulation and activation of nanoparticles at the lesion site, enhancing their therapeutic efficacy.

Anaerobic induction was then performed to obtain a lactic acid bacteria strain capable of expressing and secreting XCL1.

[0125] Example 5: Detecting the Chemotactic Effect of Target Genes on Immune Cells Using XCL1@LAB as an Example

[0126] In this example, a transwell experiment was performed using spleen cells DC2.4. The culture supernatant of LAB and XCL1@LAB (Example 4) was taken and added to the lower culture chamber after concentration determination. After incubation for 4 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h, the cells were stained with CD86 and CD80, and the migration of DCs to the bottom of the transwell cavity was observed by flow cytometry. The flow cytometry results are shown in the figure. Figure 3 As shown. Figure 3 It can be seen that XCL1@LAB can recruit DCs and promote the maturation of DCs.

[0127] Furthermore, the same experimental method was used to detect the effect of the tumor microenvironment-responsive Lactobacillus vector obtained in Example 2-5 on immune cells. The experimental results were consistent with the results of XCL1@LAB. The Lactobacillus vector in Example 2-4 was also able to recruit DCs and promote the maturation of DCs.

[0128] Example 6: Using XCL-1@LAB as an example to explore the effect evaluation of modified lactobacilli in treating tumors in vivo

[0129] Using 4T1 tumor-bearing mice as a model, PBS, LAB, and XCL1@LAB (100 μL) were injected into the tail vein three times (d1, d3, and d7). Tumor growth was continuously assessed, and the survival rate of mice in each group was measured. Mice were sacrificed on day 8 after the last injection (d15), and tumor and spleen tissues were collected for detection of surface markers of DCs, effector T cells, memory T cells, macrophages, etc. Pathological evaluation of tumors and important organs (heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, etc.) was also performed. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 shown.

[0130] from Figure 4 It can be seen that tumor-targeted delivery can be achieved by intravenous injection of XCL1@LAB, and XCL1 is expressed and released in response to the tumor microenvironment, recruiting DCs into the tumor site, promoting DCs maturation, increasing antigen presentation, and promoting CD4 + 、CD8 + Cell activation ultimately achieves the regulation of the tumor immune microenvironment and achieves the effect of inhibiting tumor growth.

[0131] The same experimental method was used to test the in vivo tumor treatment effect of the Lactobacillus vectors with tumor microenvironment response obtained in Examples 2-5 using 4T1 tumor-bearing mice as a model. After the Lactobacillus vectors were injected through the tail vein, tumor-targeted delivery was achieved, and cytokines or chemokines were expressed and secreted in response to the tumor microenvironment, recruiting DCs into the tumor site, promoting DCs maturation, increasing antigen presentation, and promoting CD8+ 、CD4 + The maturation and activation of T lymphocytes achieves the effect of inhibiting tumor growth.

[0132] It can be seen that the present invention utilizes the characteristics of natural lactobacillus "probiotics" to construct a class of "natural non-toxic" lactobacillus drug carriers, which utilizes its own immunogenic characteristics to promote the immunogenic cell death of tumor cells and achieve the release of tumor antigens; through gene editing, lactobacillus has the ability to express specific cytokines or chemokines in response to the tumor microenvironment, thereby achieving the in situ release of drugs on tumors and promoting the proliferation of DCs, CD4 + and CD8 + T lymphocyte maturation and proliferation enhance the anti-tumor immune response at the tumor site and reduce the toxic side effects of drugs.

[0134] Preparation of N3-bacteria

[0135] The lactic acid bacteria constructed in Example 1 were cultured overnight in MRS medium and diluted 1:100 into fresh MRS medium supplemented with 50 mM N3-D-Ala. The culture was incubated overnight at 37°C. The culture was harvested, centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes, washed three times with 1× PBS, and resuspended in 1 ml of PBS. 5 μM DBCO-Cy5.5 was added to the culture solution and stained on a 360-degree rotary mixer for 2 hours in the dark.

[0136] The cultured bacteria were collected, washed three times with 1×PBS, and resuspended in 1 ml PBS. The fluorescence intensity of the bacteria was detected by flow cytometry. The results of flow cytometry are shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown in A, it shows that LAB bacteria successfully metabolize N3.

[0137] Preparation of bioglass materials

[0138] In this example, DBCO-NHS and Fe3O4_Au (5 mg / ml) were mixed in an amide reaction at a molar ratio of 1:1 to obtain a final concentration of 27×10 -6 The reaction was carried out at 4°C overnight to obtain DBCO-Fe3O4_Au. The reactants were collected, centrifuged and filtered to obtain lyophilized powder. Figure 5 Middle (B) is the morphology of the material under transmission electron microscopy.

[0139] In this embodiment, the bioglass material Fe3O4_Au produces a Fenton effect in a slightly acidic environment as shown in the attached figure. Figure 6As shown. It can be seen that the bioglass material Fe3O4_Au releases Fe in a slightly acidic environment. 2+ and H2O2, the generated Fe 2+ Can react with H2O2 to produce hydroxyl radicals - OH, thereby destroying tumor cells and releasing tumor antigens.

[0140] Construction of living bacteria-bioglass materials

[0141] After counting the above-mentioned cultured bacteria, the bacterial concentration was adjusted to 5×10 9 CFU / ml: Resuspend 1 ml of the above bacteria in 5 ml of PBS. Prepare the bioglass material at a concentration of 0.25 mg / ml and sonicate for 15 minutes to disperse the material. Slowly add 1 ml of the 0.25 mg / ml material to the bacteria, stirring while adding. Incubate at room temperature for 6 hours. Collect the reaction material, centrifuge, wash three times with PBS, resuspend in 1 ml of PBS, and store at 4°C until needed.

[0142] The nanomaterial prepared above was dropped onto a copper mesh, stained with phosphotungstic acid, and examined under a transmission electron microscope. The results are shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown in (CD), (C) is a normal LAB bacteria without modification; (D) is a transmission electron microscope (TEM) image of LAB bacteria carrying bioglass material, indicating that the bacteria and bioglass material are successfully connected.

[0152] Take 1ml 5×10 9 The prepared live bacteria loaded onto the bioglass material (Example 7) were placed in a 1.5 ml EP tube, and 5 μM DBCO-Cy5.5 was added. The tube was protected from light and stained on a 360-degree rotating mixer for 2 hours. The tube was then washed three times with 1×PBS and resuspended in 100 μl PBS. The 100 μl bacterial solution was injected into 4T1 tumor-bearing mice via microintravenous injection, and the fluorescence intensity of Cy5.5 in the tumor was observed at different time points. The results are shown in the attached figure. Figure 7 As shown, bioglass material-live bacteria have good tumor targeting ability.

[0153] Example 12 Evaluation of the in vivo anti-tumor effect of live bacteria-bioglass materials

[0154] Using 4T1 tumor-bearing mice as a model, PBS, LAB, and bioglass material @LAB (Example 7) (100 μL) were injected into the tail vein three times (d1, d3, and d7). The growth of the tumor was continuously evaluated, and the survival rate of each group of mice was detected; the mice were killed on the 8th day after the last injection (d15), and the tumor tissue and spleen tissue were taken to detect the surface markers of DCs, effector T cells, and memory T cells; and the tumor and important organs (heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, etc.) were pathologically evaluated. The therapeutic effect of the bioglass material @LAB on tumors described in this example is shown in the figure. Figure 8 shown.

[0155] from Figure 8 It can be seen that intravenous injection of bioglass material @LAB can enhance the enrichment of DCs in tumors and increase antigen presentation. Bioglass material @LAB can significantly enhance the maturation of DC cells in tumors and enhance and promote CD3 + CD4 + 、CD3 + CD8 + Activation of T cells can enhance anti-tumor immunity, ultimately regulating the tumor immune microenvironment and inhibiting tumor growth.

[0156] In summary, the nanomaterials of the present invention transform probiotics through gene recombination technology to enable them to secrete DC cell chemotactic factors, and perform N3 modification through the sugar metabolism pathway; by attaching Fe3O4 to the borosilicate bioglass material, it can release Fe in an acidic environment. 3+At the same time, DBCO is modified on the bioglass material, and the bioglass material is attached to the bacteria through bioorthogonal click chemistry reaction. The tumor targeting of bacteria is used to achieve synchronous transport of nanoparticles and bacteria, thereby enhancing the targeted anti-tumor immune response.
